Sanxingdui is an archaeological site located in Guanghan, Sichuan Province, China, renowned for its remarkable Bronze Age relics. Discovered in the 1920s, the site has yielded a wealth of artifacts including large bronze masks, intricate jade pieces, and gold ornaments, which are believed to date back to the 12th to 11th centuries BCE. These findings suggest the existence of a highly sophisticated and previously unknown ancient civilization contemporaneous with the Shang Dynasty, challenging conventional narratives about early Chinese history.
